ANELLO has a growing list of customers and revenue through design wins in commercial and defense.

Description

ANELLO is seeking a detailed oriented and hands-on candidate who will take pride in driving new product development through prototype into production at scale. The successful candidate would work closely with R&D and Engineering teams to develop assembly and test processes used during the manufacturing of electromechanical components and optical-based subassemblies of IMU/INS navigation systems. This role could involve a wide range of hands-on tasks associated with improving our onsite production, while supporting our shift of production to our 3rd party contract manufacturers. In this role you will design and document products in early stages of PLC, while also designing manufacturing test fixtures applying both custom and off-the shelf hardware and software. In addition, you will contribute to all aspects of assembly and test development, coverage, drive execution and document results.

Responsibilities

• Lead and support a cross-functional team of engineers (ee, me, fw, optical) in the development of new products and drive design for manufacturing excellence.
• Participate on a project team of engineers involved in the specification, design, development, assembly and test of electromechanical product hardware.
• Provide manufacturing input to mechanical design reviews. Design for DFx : DFC, DFQ, DFM, DFR, DFT.
• Help provide training/mentorship support to contract manufacturing personnel.
• Improve manufacturing operations processes and actively enhance efficiency, consistency, cost avoidance, and customer satisfaction.
• Approve and validate mechanical first articles.
• Assist in early prototype testing and troubleshooting/debug to find root cause failures and drive back fixes to engineering or contract manufacturer.
• Work in conformance with established manufacturing processes and procedures.
• Develop manufacturing process and best practice documentation.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (or related).
• 3+ years of experience in Manufacturing Product, Process, or NPI Engineering in manufacturing environment.
• 3+ years of Mechanical design of product and/or fixtures used to improve quality or mfg process in RnD and Mfg cycles.
• Ability to produce high quality documentation that is clearly understandable by internal and external personnel
• Hands-on experience with assembly and test equipment and associated fixture design
• Able to work independently and as a strong team player being detail-oriented, organized, and hands-on.
• Solid understanding and experience with 3D CAD (SolidWorks)

Additional Information

• Due to U.S. Government contract requirements, applicants must be U.S. Citizens.
